Grade: Senior

School: Bayview Secondary School

Hobbies and Interests: Spending time with friends, window shopping at The Promenade, reading magazines, sewing clothes.

Appearance: Jennifer is slightly taller than average (5'6") and skinny (about 125 lbs), with small muscles. She has a lean face, with a small nose and thin lips. She has short, spiky black hair and dark brown eyes. Both of her ears are pierced, though she does not wear earrings particularly often. She is of Hispanic origin, which shows in the tones of her skin and hair.

Jennifer wears clothing that she makes herself. She tends to prefer loose, flowing shirts and skirts in bright, cheerful colors. She prefers not to wear long pants, finding them uncomfortable. She favors utilitarian footwear, due to her habit of walking from place to place.

Biography: Jennifer has known conflict all her life. Her parents legally immigrated to Saint Paul, Minnesota from Mexico two years before Jennifer's birth, with her older sister, then a year old. While they were able to afford a more comfortable standard of living, money was still tight. The births of Jennifer and her younger brother Samuel did not improve her parents’ financial situation.

All throughout her childhood, Jennifer's parents argued with each other. They fought over money, how to raise the kids, who would do what chores, and other inconsequential things. Jennifer always hated the fighting, and soon began trying to mediate things between her parents. She was rarely successful in the long term; her parents were reluctant to argue in front of her once they learned she was paying attention, but would continue their disputes as soon as she was out of the area.

Jennifer's parents got divorced a week before Jennifer's twelfth birthday. For the next three years, Jennifer and her siblings were traded back and forth between homes each week. Finally, shortly before Jennifer entered high school, her father moved to Wisconsin to take a better job. Jennifer still sees him occasionally, but not as often as she would like.

Jennifer cannot stand being near people who are arguing, as disagreement causes her great amounts of stress. She has acted as a peacemaker for her friends, trying to mediate their disputes, not only out of a desire to see them happier, but also for her own comfort. Jennifer gets along well with just about anyone, but this is only because she tends to agree with others and follow their lead. She is more than willing to stifle her own opinion in order to preserve the peace of whatever group she is with. She tries to think carefully before she speaks, and always tries to phrase things as diplomatically as possible, but she is prone to misspeaking and stumbling over her own words, and constantly worries that this will offend her conversational partners. When she is involved in trying to help her friends, or in another high-stress situation, however, she is able to focus and sort her feelings and words quite well, paying attention to the moment and not worrying about messing up until afterwards.

Jennifer tends to be friends with younger, less mature students, as they usually get into the most conflicts. Though she would never admit it, Jennifer feels somewhat lost when things are at peace, even though any other situation causes her stress. Her friends in her own grade are mostly "popular" girls who get into typical high school drama with each other, giving Jennifer an opportunity to act as mediator.

In school, Jennifer often voices class concerns to teachers, though she quickly backs down if it seems like they are unreceptive or in a bad mood. She tries to make it to school sporting events, not because she cares about sports, but because her friends go there and it seems like a good way to fit in and spend time with them without much potential for conflict. Jennifer follows her friends’ interests in clubs and extracurricular activities, and is currently interested in Drama Club because of its large following and focus on acting; she finds adopted personas quite interesting.

Jennifer does alright in class, but is not an exceptional student. She mostly gets Bs and Cs, which is good enough for her. Her favorite class is psychology, because she likes knowing what makes people tick; she never really delves too deeply into her own motivations, though, because she doesn't want to second-guess herself. Jennifer is a particularly poor history student, because she can't bring herself to care about problems long since solved. She is currently repeating 11th grade history, which she failed last year. She doesn't mind, though, because many of her younger friends share the class with her.

Jennifer never swears aloud, considering it a way to escalate conflict and a display of poor self control. Internally, however, she often seethes at other people, directing her negative feelings into a vicious mental monologue. Even though she never voices her unpleasant thoughts, they still make her feel quite guilty at times. She often feels like she is being dishonest by taking the politically sound way out of a situation rather than expressing her own views.

Sometimes, being in the middle of thing causes Jennifer large amounts of stress. When she can't take being around people, she wanders the city alone, thinking. She works very hard to never take out her negative feelings on others.

She has never really considered standing up for herself, because she doesn't view herself as very important. She sees herself in terms of her friends, and judges herself based on how others perceive her.

One of the few ways Jennifer feels comfortable expressing herself is through her sewing. She creates her own clothing, often browsing fashion magazines and department stores for inspiration. She tends to put large amounts of bright colors into her creations, giving off a friendly, happy attitude both to put people at ease and as a defensive mechanism, making her seem happy and comfortable even when she is not.

Advantages: Jennifer is easy to get along with, and makes friends well. She is a good listener, and can often get people to calm down and see the other side of a disagreement. She also has good stamina and strong legs from walking as much as she does.

Disadvantages: Jennifer has poor self esteem, and is nowhere near assertive enough. She tends to follow along with people too easily, and is often pushed around. She bottles up her emotions instead of finding a healthy way to let off steam. She hates conflict, and avoids being personally involved in it most of the time.

Designated Number: Female Student no. 005

Conclusion: Well, almost everything here is saying that Girl 005 is going to be dead real quick all the staples are here. Often pushed around, a follower, hates conflict, blah blah blah blah blah. HOWEVER! I see that there is a chance that she could crack to pressure. We've seen it before, we could see it again and I for one want to see some brain damage with that icepick!'
